If eating well feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. Most women don’t struggle because they don’t care about their health — they struggle because life is full, energy is limited, and decision fatigue is real.
The goal isn’t perfect meals.
It’s simple meals that support your body, blood sugar, hormones, and energy — without turning cooking into another stressor.
These meals are:
-
High in protein
-
Simple to prep
-
Flexible (no rigid recipes)
-
Real-life friendly

Any veggies you like (broccoli, carrots, peppers)

Olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic
Bake everything together. Done.
Add rice or potatoes if you need carbs.
2. Greek Yogurt Protein Bowl
